No. Anyone I ever worked with would have considered such weapons
dishonorable instruments of torture.
I've just visited http://www.parascope.com/articles/0797/em.htm
It's interesting that if the review above is correct,
the Marine Corps, who are serious soldiers,
have refused to adopt such weapons. Most of the research
seems to be in the Air Force, whose main concern is to
stay away from harm and protect the $million investments
they operate. "Covert" operations provide the extra option
that they might operate, or they might just act as though they
operate.
